    Wom 11.406 16 [Women] learn so fast and convey the result so fast as to outrun the logic of their slow brother, and make his acquisitions poor.
    Wom 11.413 25 The first thing men think of, when they love, is to exhibit their usefulness and advantages to the object of their affection. Women make light of these, asking only love.

    FRep 11.515 16 When the cannon is aimed by ideas...when men die for what they live for...then the cannon articulates its explosions with the voice of a man, then the rifle seconds the cannon and the fowling-piece the rifle, and the women make cartridges...and the better code of laws at last records the victory.

    FRep 11.534 4 A man is coming, here as [in England], to value himself on what he can buy. Worst of all, his expense is not his own, but a far-off copy of Osborne House or the Elysee. The tendency of this is to make all men alike;...
